The Secret

Southern Lord is proud to announce the newest members of its coven,
brutal Italian group: The Secret. These days Its extremely rare that we
receive a demo submission that blows us away. This was the case with the
demo that the Secret had sent us. Their sound is relentless,
uncompromising and extremely lethal. Anti-melody, pro-cacophony! Born
and shaped in 2003 within the motionless city of Trieste, Italy, The
Secret come to life as an output for rage, darkness and negativity. The
Secret combines elements of crust/grind, primitive black metal, dark
soundscapes and monolithic riffs to take the listener by the hand
through an hallucinated trip towards a foggy and yet invisible tomorrow.
After their 2003 Goodfellow Records debut album “Luce”, the band goes
through countless line up changes and finds its own new incarnation in
2008 when their second full length “Disintoxication” was released. Since
then The Goodfellow label has unfortunately ceased to exist. The Secret
have now found shelter within Southern Lords’ bleak caves. This April
The Secret will enter Godcity Studio in Salem, MA with producer Kurt
Ballou to record their Southern Lord debut “Solve et Coagula”, their
sonic interpretation of a total loss of faith in social system,
religion, personal redemption and every institution. You are forewarned
of a approaching monolithic steamroller whose destiny is to flatten all
in its path!
“The last man standing tall that year went home and put his head in
the stove, and his wife in the other room just screamed to let him know
that he was not alone. “It’s alright!….I know what you are and I know
there’s no way to talk you out, and I’ll tell them that you tripped and
fell and I’ll let them harbor their doubts.” His kids all stayed in bed
with duct tape thoughts, said their prayers to the ceiling fans and
stared at all the shadows left on the wall from the shining limbs he
left in the sand. No one got in the way as he burned against the
barnyard red of a happy home amidst brilliant times and no one called
the helpless card because everyone lives a lie. Everyone loves a lie.
They know what’s been done. They know the way the words get mixed and
the actions find a way to wrap themselves around the seemingly solid
frames of modern hope and modern sight. It’s not just passion….nor
unending will. No, if it was just that, then every sad pair of eyes
would be able to get out of bed and make it through the front door.
There is more, and I know you drink from the same well, and that you
shared the similar mirage on cue that somewhere slaughter and rescue
moonlight ‘cross land and sea as one in the same. . They come by way of
spite. They come by way of brilliant disgust with rage tattooed deep
into the palms. They come by way of blackened city lights and by trails
of sonic bliss. This a not a warning. Warnings give the false hope of
finding sudden shelters to crawl behind. This is the darkened life of
four, without an absolute in sight. The Secret come by way of filth and
promise. That, my friends, makes them a danger….the kind that you rarely
have an opportunity to run into head on. The only difference is The
Secret won’t stop until they’ve run straight through each and every one
of you. This is the darkened last will of four with distortion brought
to life. (Press Note)
